I have a container of heavy whipping cream that has an expiration date of 4 days ago. I need to add some to a recipe. What can I do?

Heavy cream is about 37.6 percent fat. If you are using cream for baking and adding milk or half and half which is about 12 percent fat you may be changing the richness, tenderness or flavor of your recipe. If you are making a soup or gravy or stew light cream or half and half might work for you. Please smell the opened container and see if it smells sour or bad. There is a chance that it’s not gone bad. I have had cream for many days beyond the date and it was not bad because it wasn’t opened yet.
